Non-Empty Stateless Network Firewall Rule Groups Should Not Be Present
More Info:
This rule checks if a stateless Network Firewall Rule Group contains rules. It ensures that there are rules defined in the stateless Network Firewall Rule Group. The rule is marked as non-compliant if there are no rules in the stateless Network Firewall Rule Group.

Triage and Remediation
Remediation
To remediate the non-empty stateless network firewall rule groups in AWS EC2 using AWS console, follow these steps:
-
Open the Amazon VPC Console: Go to the AWS Management Console, navigate to the VPC service.
-
Navigate to Security Groups: In the VPC dashboard, click on “Security Groups” in the left-hand menu.
-
Identify the Security Group: Identify the security group that has non-empty stateless network firewall rule groups. You can check the rules defined in each security group to find the non-empty ones.
-
Edit the Security Group: Select the security group that needs to be remediated and click on the “Inbound Rules” or “Outbound Rules” tab, depending on where the non-empty rule group is present.
-
Remove Non-Empty Stateless Rules: Look for any rules that are not required or are unnecessarily broad. To remove a rule, select it and click on the “Delete” or “Remove” button.
-
Add Necessary Rules: If any necessary rules were inadvertently removed, add them back in a way that follows the principle of least privilege. Click on the “Add Rule” button to define a new rule.
-
Review and Save Changes: Once you have removed the non-empty stateless rules and added any necessary rules, review the changes to ensure they align with your security requirements. Click on the “Save” or “Apply” button to apply the changes.
-
Verify the Security Group: After saving the changes, verify that the security group no longer contains any non-empty stateless network firewall rule groups.
By following these steps, you can successfully remediate the non-empty stateless network firewall rule groups in AWS EC2 using the AWS console.
To remediate the issue of having non-empty stateless network firewall rule groups in AWS EC2 using AWS CLI, follow these steps:
- List all the security groups in your AWS account using the following AWS CLI command:
aws ec2 describe-security-groups
-
Identify the security group that has non-empty stateless network firewall rule groups. Look for the security group with the
IpPermissionsattribute that contains rules. -
Note down the Group ID of the security group that needs to be remediated.
-
Remove all the inbound and outbound rules from the identified security group using the following AWS CLI command:
aws ec2 revoke-security-group-ingress --group-id YOUR_SECURITY_GROUP_ID --protocol all --port all --cidr 0.0.0.0/0
aws ec2 revoke-security-group-egress --group-id YOUR_SECURITY_GROUP_ID --protocol all --port all --cidr 0.0.0.0/0
Replace YOUR_SECURITY_GROUP_ID with the actual Group ID of the identified security group.
- Verify that the security group no longer has any inbound or outbound rules by describing the security group using the following AWS CLI command:
aws ec2 describe-security-groups --group-ids YOUR_SECURITY_GROUP_ID
- Once you have confirmed that the security group is now empty, you have successfully remediated the issue of having non-empty stateless network firewall rule groups in AWS EC2.
By following these steps, you can effectively remediate the misconfiguration of having non-empty stateless network firewall rule groups in AWS EC2 using AWS CLI.
To remediate the misconfiguration of having non-empty stateless network firewall rule groups in AWS EC2 using Python, you can follow these steps:
-
Use the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) to interact with the AWS EC2 service.
-
List all the security groups associated with your EC2 instances.
-
For each security group, check if there are any stateless network firewall rule groups that are not empty.
-
If you find any non-empty stateless network firewall rule groups, remove the rules from the security group.
-
Here is a sample Python code snippet that demonstrates how to achieve this:
import boto3
# Initialize the EC2 client
ec2_client = boto3.client('ec2')
# Get all security groups
response = ec2_client.describe_security_groups()
for sg in response['SecurityGroups']:
group_id = sg['GroupId']
# Check if the security group is stateless and non-empty
if sg['IpPermissionsEgress'] and not sg['IpPermissions']:
# Remove all egress rules from the security group
ec2_client.revoke_security_group_egress(GroupId=group_id, IpPermissions=sg['IpPermissionsEgress'])
print(f"Revoked egress rules for security group: {group_id}")
-
Make sure to replace the placeholder values like
YourRegionandYourProfilewith your actual AWS region and profile name in the code snippet. -
Run the Python script to remediate the non-empty stateless network firewall rule groups in your AWS EC2 security groups.
By following these steps and running the provided Python script, you can remediate the misconfiguration of having non-empty stateless network firewall rule groups in AWS EC2.
